Crystal Head Vodka

Crystal Head Vodka is an ultra-premium, additive-free spirit created by Dan Aykroyd and artist John Alexander. Distilled four times from Canadian “peaches & cream” corn and blended with pristine Newfoundland water, it is filtered seven times — including three passes through layers of Herkimer diamonds — for extraordinary purity. Expect a silky, clean palate with a touch of natural sweetness, soft vanilla, and a cool, crisp finish. Iconic, modern, and unmistakably gift-worthy.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Neutral grain aromas lifted by a delicate citrus whisper. The palate is satin-smooth with gentle sweetness, hints of vanilla and white chocolate, and a cool mineral poise. Finishes creamy and clean, leaving a polished, luminous impression.

Craftsmanship & Story

Crystal Head was founded to champion creativity: a pure vodka in a bottle that is itself a work of art. Distilled in Newfoundland from locally sourced corn and blended with exceptionally pure water, the spirit is filtered seven times — three through Herkimer diamond quartz — and contains no additives, sugars, glycerol, or citrus oils. The skull bottle, designed by John Alexander, symbolises life, power, and enlightenment — a striking vessel for a meticulously crafted spirit.

Special Features

The iconic skull-shaped bottle is produced in Europe with crystal melted into the glass for exceptional clarity — a jaw-dropping centrepiece that makes an unforgettable gift. Inside, the vodka’s additive-free philosophy delivers pristine flavour and texture.
